Like I said, it’s pretty common. I distinctly remember HRC stepping out on several large bills, though I think they were eventually paid. It seems most campaigns end up leaving some bills unpaid, sometimes for quite a long time. Trump, as I mentioned, seems worse than most.

Hate to say it, but this is pretty common.Trump just does it more.

Emotionally I dislike your reply. Logically it’s correct. What good is “paying your debt to society” but never being forgiven when you live a better life after punishment.

Losing sleep over whether he’ll actually be sentenced or not.

This right here. It’s not a problem with voter ID. It’s a problem with getting the ID. Cost, accessibility, and prerequisites are all roadblocks. Those prerequisites all tend to be issues for the poorer people that tend to vote democrat. Right up there with refusal to make election day a holiday, making mail-in ballots a fight, reducing voting locations, making offers of water to people in long voting lines illegal…. Poorer people work maybe multiple jobs and can’t take the time off or spend time in long lines, so that’s all designed to reduce the democratic vote count.

Took my first drive as a passenger in a FSD Tesla the other day. I was rapidly underwhelmed. I mean, yeah…it’s pretty cool the car drives itself, to an extent. But even as a passenger I was struck by the number of times I would have taken the wheel and made the car do what it was supposed to. Hesitant pulling forward to turn, hesitant pulling out into traffic after a turn, wrong speed for the road, abrupt turns… Did it get us there? Sure. Did it do a good job? Mid at best. Probably better as an anti-fatigue measure on highway drives instead of taking you places in town. I would not pay for FSD were I to own a Tesla…at least it seems really inappropriate for the kind of driving I do.

He’s halfway there already.

Because they generally die before they infect others. They absolutely can get rabies. I have never seen anyone say it’s “near impossible” except pro-wild-animals-as-pets “experts”.

Yeah, but watch out. Allegedly they’re more conservative than you think.

But Tesla will gladly keep charging a lot of money for FSD.

Yet another reason billionaires shouldn’t exist. Dude is making international policy based on requests from foreign leaders, along with having conversations with them while launching the US government’s satellites of national security importance.

What exactly are the “material conditions leading to gun crime”? I mean, if it’s poverty and education you’re thinking of the very same segment of the country that is pro-gun are pretty much the same ones that will refuse to expand government services or controls to provide access to improving these situations.

The reason we have so much gun crime is because we have so many guns and so few controls on them. Why do other countries thar have lots of guns have less gun crime? Because they control the shit out of them. They actually make gun owners responsible for their guns. Unlike the US, for instance, where ~70% of guns used in crimes are stolen or taken without the owner’s consent. How could this be? Because guns are uncontrolled toys left under vehicle seats, in gloveboxes, in door pockets, on the kitchen counter, in bedside table drawers…unsecured for everything from little Johnny to shoot little Susie or the gas station clerk to get a gun pointed at her and told to give up the cash. Someone’s guns get stolen? They get pissed at the violation, shrug, make an insurance claim, buy more, and their handgun gets used in a school drive-by shooting. Not their problem. Just more guns on the street. That’s the problem with gun crime. Guns are everywhere and relatively easy to get.

We’re just barely seeing the beginnings of people being charged with their guns being used in crimes with the parents of shooters bought them guns despite clear warnings. This can’t happen hard or fast enough IMO. Gun owners constantly pay lip service to responsible gun ownership but they’re the most resistant to any actual responsibility about them.

My music is a compost pile. All the new stuff I listen to is on top and it gets listened to on repeat and the music is less engaging the further down the stack it goes, even though it was on repeat when it was fresh. Stuff at the bottom of the list may only get played once in a year or even less.

My brain has changed a bit over time. I used to need that constant noise, it helped things flow. Now I prefer quiet. Noise breaks the flow.

I do this too, to keep them separate in my head. I get that they’re interchangeable.

“Increased crime”? C’mon, isn’t crime down? Don’t fall for that old white man bogeyman, Arnold.

No idea why the difference in price. I checked again and it still shows $340/ton on a UK site, another shows $335/ton, some higher for powders or carbide, some way lower for scrap.

Before people bash her because of her dad:

She is doing this

She spoke out as pro-gay marriage

She also headlined a Planned Parenthood fundraiser in Texas.

She seems to keep her politics quiet, however these public displays land her on the right side of things. I don’t know her and don’t care one way or the other what side she’s on, I just want to be sure she’s getting a fair assessment without her dad’s shadow hanging over her.

And you’re still getting paid more. Not like it all gets taken away like those people that spread the rumor that says you lose more money than you made in a raise to taxes. (Yeah, exceptions apply)

Good thing I’m not an accountant
